When used via node api, --silent flag is not respected. Code here https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/lib/node-gyp.js#L170-L172

  if (!opts.silent && !opts.stdio) {
    opts.stdio = [0, 1, 2]
  }

is setting the stdio to inherit but this does not make it silent if the parent script is not silent.

in this situation, setting this to ['ignore', 'ignore', 'ignore'] might be better, which will make it truly silent. In it's current state output is reduced but it's still printing out unexpected lines in the terminal.
